Features: The same Three Kingdoms, a different Romance. Recognized as the best retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in China, Japan, and Korea. When history meets legend, history will fade into dust, while legend endures forever! With unrestrained imagination and grand narrative, this Martial World Edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become a classic in retelling classics. Since its popularity in Japan and Korea 20 years ago, its influence has gradually spread globally. We believe Chinese readers will experience even greater surprises and joy from it. Compared to the imperial atmosphere of the original, this book is a folk version, a modern version, a humorous version, lively and witty, sharp and biting, sometimes reckless, sometimes relentless, with extraordinary moments that exhilarate and hilarious scenes that make you laugh out loud—it is the martial world version. Legend indeed needs a great reading. This book tells twelve stories, including Drumming at Cao's Camp, Guan Yu Surrenders to Cao, Liu Bei Joins Jingzhou, Recommending Zhuge Liang on Horseback, and Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage. The Zhuge Liang in this book is completely different from the original. In the original, Zhuge Liang is immediately stereotyped as "his achievements covered three states and his fame was established in the Eight Traps," while in this book, Zhuge Liang's initial somber tone adds a touch of melancholy to the brilliant Three Kingdoms story that follows! Zhuge Liang is truly difficult, just like Zhang Fei! Zhang Fei cannot leave Liu Bei, but why can't Zhuge Liang? The pair from Longzhong produce nothing but eternal achievements? If the master knew about this from the afterlife, he would surely be bewildered!
